Peter and Co. Its just not a thoughtful suggestion on the part of MaanKoRani and co.; its also got to do with the practical aspects that govern their lives. If you are illegally living in a country, you do not pay tax or in other words are a burden to the country. That burden is shared by people like MaanKoRani and co., so it does become a great concern for them. Again, if you have a good reason to be in a country then I dont think illegal status would have crept in on you. I hope you dont consider your personal preference a dire situation. Having said that I am not trying to delve into your situation. I wish you luck, regardless.
